1. You do promotions more aggressively after few days of movie release
- HR going to Bigg Boss to "celebrate success"
- HNY team going to cinema halls to "celebrate success"
- FF, Bang Bang, HNY holding "success parties"

2. when you need to use sketchy sites like indicine and talkingmoviez to show the movie is NOT underperforming.


Srsly, I was in support of Bang bang but when HR kept with the promotion and went to Bigg Boss after the first weekend release, I felt 2nd hand embarrassment. Stars should come off their high horse and call out their movies like salman did with Jai Ho. 😕 Just my opinion.

You know a movie is doing fine when haters are going bonkers bashing the stars of the movie or the movie itself. The true proof of failure is indifference.

U know That is why I RESPECT Salman . He never ever hides his Failure . When He was going through his Bad Phase in early 2000's Than also he never scared to accept that . he even accept it now . It requires Daring and guts being a Superstar to call ur own movie a Flop . Salman declared it openly (Jai Ho) eventhough it was Semihit .

But Bang Bang is a flop though the forum went bonkers bashing HR and his Papa.

Yes in the first 3-4 days. Afterwards it was only Deathstroke opening threads with no responses. 😆

I don't think calling out the film is the right thing to do either. Over promotion after the fact is wrong as well. Just promote as much as you till after the 1st weekend . Then its in Public's hands. ⭐️
